Hey PPN Family,

One of the greatest fears that I have, is for a big hairy spider to fall on my face while I’m driving causing me to crash. I thank God that it hasn’t happened yet, but I have had huge spiders running across my windscreen while I was driving, and they have caused me to make a panicked, jumpy swerve on occasion.

The reason why this is such a dread of mine, is because fear can be absolutely crippling.

King David was a man who faced many fearful situations, and yet when he was running for his life because his son Absalom was leading a rebellion against him, he writes in Psalms 3:5-6 (NLT), “I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over me. I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side.”

In the middle of a very scary situation, King David was able to sleep peacefully during the night because he knew that God was with him.

In the same way, when we go through worrying and fearful situations, we can also experience the peace that comes from knowing that God loves us, and He is with us. I pray that this truth will help you to sleep peacefully at night.

God bless,
Roland Talamaivao-Amituanai
